If you want to install something from Hackage, use
$ cabal install foo
If you want to grab the source
$ darcs get --partial path/to/repo
(Omit the --partial flag if you want the full source tree, but if
you're not intending to do serious work on the source it's probably
not worth it.)
>From the error message above you appear to be "darcs get"ting the root
directory of the hackage server, which isn't a valid repository.
